Wow. Is science fiction going mainstream, or is it the fact that Seattle has a high geek to square foot ratio?
those of you who want the summary...The Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame combines artifacts and information in evocative environments that immerse visitors in science fiction's "alternative worlds." Witness how this dynamic and diverse genre touches all forms of artistic expression and reframes the complexities of science, art, culture and the humanities, giving us new insights into ourselves and the world around us.
The museum will be the home of the Science Fiction Hall of Fame, honoring the legends and luminaries that have shaped our visions of the future.
The museum is already attracting the participation of the highest echelon of science fiction practitioners: writers, illustrators, publishers, educators, filmmakers – and of course, fans! You, too, can become part of the experience.
Opening June 2004, the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame will be co-located with Experience Music Project in the landmark Frank Gehry building at the Base of the Space Needle, Seattle, Washington.

That's pretty cool. Too bad it is so far away from me. As a geek of long standing I would enjoy visiting such a museum.

That is a pretty cool idea. Remember Seattle has the Space Needle tower thingy left over from a World's Fair. Plus Boeing. So they are kinda used to high tech (SF) concepts. I'm kinda glad they are doing an SF museum.
